Lab Unit |
Select the unit of measure used for collecting and measuring
data for the lab test. For example, U/L or ng/mL for a creatine kinase (CK)
test. |
N/A. |
Low Range |
Enter the lower limit of the reference range for the lab test.
For example, 24 for a creatine kinase (CK) test. |
This field only accepts whole numbers and decimals written using a decimal
point and not a comma. You cannot use special characters or letters. |
High Range |
Enter the upper limit of the reference range for the lab test.
For example, 174 for a creatine kinase (CK) test. |
This field only accepts whole numbers and decimals written using a decimal
point and not a comma. You cannot use special characters or letters. |
Normal Text Result |
Select the value that can be used as a reference for a lab
test. For example, Negative for an HPV test.
Note: For a lab test, you can either
define values for the low range and high range or the normal test results. You
cannot define both types of lab normals.
|
N/A. |
Fasting |
Select the value that can be used (Yes,
No, or All) as a reference for a
subject's fasting status. By default, the All option is
selected for each lab test.
Options for the Fasting normal range
can also be different (Fasting and Not Fasting, for example)
depending on how they are defined in the study's design. Options
Yes, No, and
All are predefined in the system, but a study
designer can use other options when defining the code list for the Fasting
question in a lab form.
|
N/A. |
Gender |
Select the gender that the laboratory normals apply to for a the
lab test. For example, for a creatine kinase (CK) test you can select
Male if the values for a lab unit and low range are
defined according to laboratory normals typical to men. You can select
All if the lab normals apply to all genders or if
your study doesn't collect data on gender.
Note: A site user can only select
one option for the Gender lab normal.
|
N/A. |
Age From |
Enter a number for the minimum age included in the age range
for a lab test. |
This field only accepts whole numbers. You cannot use decimal points,
letters, or special characters. |
Age From Units |
Select the unit of measure for a subject's age. |
N/A. |
Age To |
Enter a number for the maximum age included in the age range
for a lab test. |
This field only accepts whole numbers. You cannot use decimal points,
letters, or special characters. |
Age to Units |
Select the unit of measure for a subject's age. |
N/A. |
Race |
Select the race that the laboratory normals
apply to for the lab test. You can select All if the
lab normals apply to all races or if your study doesn't collect data on
race.
If your study doesn't collect data on race, then lab normals can be
defined to use the All option from the Race code
list.
Note: A site user can only
select one option for the Race lab normal.
|
N/A. |
Effective Date |
Enter the date from which the lab normal range became
effective at the laboratory. If a second normal range with matching unit, age,
gender, and race values is entered with a later effective date, those values are
used for any visit date on or after the new effective date. The effective date
is compared to the sample collection date or the visit date, if the sample
collection date is not being used in a lab form. |
